Zhang Yangquan galloped on his horse all the way. When he arrived at the camp in the north of the city, he did not get off his horse. He ran straight to the commander's tent before he got off and quickly entered the tent.
There were several generals in the tent, all with angry faces. Qin Lingjun stood up from behind the case and came over to greet them.
"Husband, the matter is urgent, so I asked you to come over."
Zhang Yangquan raised his hand: "No problem, please tell me the situation in detail!"
Just now, he was discussing with the prime ministers in the study about the location of the palace. Qin Lingjun suddenly sent someone to let him over, saying that Zhang Shicheng had sneak attack on Liu Futong and the situation was urgent.
Qin Lingjun said: "After Zhang Shicheng captured Xuzhou, he suddenly sent Lu Zhen to attack Songzhou. Liu Futong had just escaped from Bianliang. The soldiers were exhausted and exhausted. They were defeated by Lu Zhen and retreated to Haozhou. However, Lu Zhen pursued him.
Surround Haozhou!"
Zhang Yangquan hurriedly asked: "How are Lan Yu and the others doing?"
Chang Yuchun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Lan Yu and the others did not participate in the war, and Zhang Shicheng did not dare to embarrass them. This is the news they sent back."
Zhang Yangquan breathed a sigh of relief, walked behind the handsome case and sat down, frowning and said: "Liu Futong has always been the leader of the Jiangbei uprising army, but Zhang Shicheng risked the disdain of the world to sneak attack on him. What on earth does he want to do?"
Fu Youde said loudly: "In my opinion, Zhang Shicheng's goal is King Xiao Ming!"
Zhang Yangquan said in surprise: "He is not a Red Scarf Army, what does he want Xiao Ming Wang to do?"
Fu Youde said seriously: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shicheng's biggest dilemma is that he does not have a solid foundation. Now that the Song Army has lost to the Tatars, Zhang Shicheng should be coveting the Shandong Peninsula!"
Wang Da said in a rough voice: "If he wants the Shandong Peninsula, he should fight it by himself. Why do he take advantage of the situation and sneak attack on Liu Futong?"
Fu Youde said: "King Xiao Ming is the emperor of the Song Army, and Shandong is divided into pieces. As long as he supports King Xiao Ming and defeats several powerful forces in Shandong, he can quickly occupy Shandong!"
Chang Yuchun sneered and said: "He is just daydreaming. When the Song army saw him taking advantage of the situation, they would probably hate him to the core. Who would join him?"
Geng San hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, should we also intervene and snatch King Xiao Ming over?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "If the Song army wants to join us, we will naturally welcome it, but there is no need to fight for the Little Ming King!"
Wang Da said in a rough voice: "Isn't that right? We will unify Jiangnan soon, what else do we need King Xiao Ming to do?"
Fu Youde said: "In that case, let the two young generals Lan Yu and Han Lin'er come back!"
Zhang Yangquan thought for a while and said: "Let's write a letter to these two people. After all, they have been staying with Liu Futong and ask them what they think about this matter!"
Chang Yuchun was secretly surprised when he saw that Zhang Yangquan was so fond of Lan Yu, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will contact them personally!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Okay, you can go out with 30,000 people and increase the troops in Haozhou. If anything happens to Anfeng, we can respond faster!"
Chang Yuchun promised loudly.
The next morning, Chang Yuchun led an army of 30,000 people and headed towards Haozhou.
Three days later, he arrived at Haozhou, handed over his troops and horses to Sun Hu, and then headed north with 300 cavalry.
Traveling to Anfeng, I learned that Liu Futong had withdrawn from Haozhou and was heading towards Anfeng.
Chang Yuchun saw that Liu Futong was out of danger, so he returned to Haozhou, leaving only scouts in Anfeng.
Five days later, Lan Yu and Han Lin'er followed Liu Futong's army back to Anfeng.
After the two saw the scouts left by Chang Yuchun, they asked Liu Futong to get back 500 horses, and then returned to Haozhou.
On the way back to Haozhou, the two teenagers looked a little depressed.
After returning to the camp on the border between Anfeng and Haozhou, the two met Chang Yuchun and Sun Hu at Shuai's account and told them the details of the rescue along the way.
Seeing that the expressions of the two of them were strange, Sun Hu smiled and said: "Your rescue was very successful this time, why are you all crying?"
Lan Yu had already held back her anger and said angrily: "It's not like those ungrateful bastards from the Song Army. If I had known this, I shouldn't have saved them!"
Chang Yuchun seemed to see something and said with a smile: "Why, did you save someone, but you are not welcomed by them?"
Lan Yu snorted: "If it weren't for our rescue, Liu Futong might not have been able to escape. As a result, these bastards would have shamed us just because we didn't help them deal with Zhang Shicheng!"
Chang Yuchun said: "It should be more than that, right?"
Han Lin'er said coldly: "When we asked for horses before leaving, the Song generals spit on the ground, as if we were sorry for them!"
Sun Hu and Chang Yuchun looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Lan Yu said angrily: "What's so funny? Don't you think they are bastards?"
Chang Yuchun said calmly: "The fact that you feel irritated only shows that you are too naive. Anything can happen on the battlefield. Not to mention being ungrateful. If I turn around and stab you, that's normal!"
Han Lin'er gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chang, Brother Sun, did we rescue the wrong one?"
Sun Hu said with a smile: "You didn't save me, you just acted too eagerly. For example, if a person is suffering, even if you want to help him, if you act too eagerly, that person will think that you have some agenda and treat you badly.
Be on guard!"
Lan Yuruo realized something and said: "No wonder I always feel that Liu Futong treats us strangely and straight. This old boy must think that we are going after Prince Xiao Ming!"
Chang Yuchun said: "It doesn't matter what he thinks. Do you still remember why you wanted to save him?"
Lan Yu thought to himself that unlike Han Lin'er, he actually didn't care about Han Qing'er's life or death, nor did he care about Liu Futong's life or death.
In addition to wanting to experience myself this time, I also don’t want to see the Tatars get what they want.
From this point of view, it can be said that his goal has been achieved. There is really nothing to be depressed about, but for some reason, he just can't be happy.
Han Lin'er was actually the same. He had already rescued Han Qing'er and brought back five hundred cavalry, but when he thought of the Song Army's attitude, he felt quite unhappy.
Chang Yuchun glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "You are unhappy because you are too greedy!"
Lan Yu was stunned and said: "What are you greedy for?"
Chang Yuchun said rudely: "You two say you are humble, but in your heart you feel that you are very strong, better than adults like us, right?"
Han Lin'er hurriedly said: "No!"
Chang Yuchun said: "Don't deceive yourself. Aren't you just afraid that Brother Hou and I will follow you and get in your way by not letting the king tell us?"
Lan Yu and Han Lin'er looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Chang Yuchun said: "The battle in Sizhou made you feel that you are great, so this time the goal is actually very high. You said it was just to save Liu Futong and King Xiao Ming, but in fact you thought you could bring them to surrender to our army.
!"
Lan Yu was startled, but did not deny it.
Chang Yuchun said: "Because you are too greedy and think you can subdue a hero like Liu Futong, so when the Song Army doesn't buy it for you, you will be hit hard!"
Both of them lowered their heads and said no more.
Deep in their hearts, they did have the intention that after rescuing Liu Futong, the other party would defect to Jiangdu's army out of gratitude.
Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice: "People like Liu Futong will never surrender easily just because of your small kindness. This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and the king does not expect you to do this, so don't be disappointed!" p>
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!"
Seeing that the two of them could accept their mistakes, Chang Yuchun finally showed a smile.
"In any case, the king is very satisfied with your action this time. On how to deal with the Song army, the king also wants to hear your opinions!"
Lan Yu was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
"I need to think about it for a while."
Han Lin'er followed: "Me too."
Chang Yuchun said: "Well, tell me the answer before tomorrow night. Don't keep your Majesty waiting."
At this moment, a scout came to report that a monk named Zhihai wanted to see him.
Sun Hu was stunned and said: "Monk?"
Lan Yu said hurriedly: "That great monk is someone we met when we rescued Liu Futong. Let him come in!"
Sun Hu nodded and ordered someone to invite him in.
After a while, Zhi Hai strode in, followed by another person, limping, it was Lin Hai.
The two of them bowed to everyone, and Lan Yu laughed and said: "Master monk, isn't Liu Futong very enthusiastic about you? Why didn't you stay in Anfeng?"
Zhihai waved his hand and cursed: "We heard about Song Jun and you, his grandma, these Song Jun are really nothing. You have helped them a lot, but these little bastards are scolding you behind your back!"
Lin Hai said in a deep voice: "Master Zhihai scolded them, and we said goodbye and left Anfeng!"
Lan Yu was overjoyed, pulled the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for helping my two brothers!"
Zhihai laughed and said: "They say Liu Futong is a hero, but I think he looks like a girl! He hesitates and hesitates in doing things, as if he has some concerns!"
Chang Yuchun said: "After all, Liu Futong just suffered a huge blow, and it is true that he is depressed."
Zhihai touched his bald head and said with a smile: "That's true! In short, we are here to thank the two major generals for their life-saving grace!"
Sun Hu smiled and said: "I think both of you are bold men. Do you have any intention to join our army?"
Zhihai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to being carefree and I really can't stand the control of the military camp."
Lin Hai cupped his hands and said, "I have fulfilled my wish. For the rest of my life, I only hope to live a stable life. I no longer have any desire for fame and fortune."
Sun Hu didn't force anything, gave the two of them some money, and sent them off.
